to keep us safe. and you don't play games with that. so i hardly think we're the ones who elevated this story. but it is, in the age of the internet, something that can cause us profound damage around the world, and so we've got to take it seriously. with respect to health care, what i said during the debate is the same thing i'm saying now and it's the same thing i will say three or four years from now. bending the cost curve on health care is hard to do. we've got hundreds of thousands of providers and doctors and systems and insurers. and what we did was we took every idea out there about how to reduce or at least slow the costs of health care over time. but i said at the time, it wasn't going to happen tomorrow, it wasn't going to happen next year. it took us decades to get into a position where our health care costs were going up 6, 7, 10 percent a year. and so our goal is to slowly bring down those costs. now, we've done so also by making sure that 31 million people who aren't getting health ins

thank you, for us to be using up all of our time in advance. mr. president, this morning a number of republican senators stated that they would support the current filibuster of this bill because they were afraid that if we take up this bill, we're going to have a closed process that would limit their ability to offer amendments. now, the majority leader has addressed this issue. he specifically said last thursday that he's willing to work with republicans on a process that will permit the senate to consider these matters and complete the bill as soon as possible. he's very clear on this thing. he is not trying to prevent other amendments from being offered. however, mr. president, there aren't going to be any amendments -- there's not going to be any opportunity too vote on any amendments unless we get 60 votes to overcome the current fibilityd and proceed to the bill. -- the current filibuster and proceed to the bill. it makes no sense for senators to block all amendments, which is what the effect will be if we don't end this filibuster, to deny

as both are dear to us. esteemed friends, for years the inefficiency of the capitalism and the existing world management and structures has been exposed and the majority of states and nations have been on a quest for fundamental changes and for the prevalence ofjustice in global relations. the cause of the united nation's ineptitude is in its unjust structure. major power is monopolized in the security council due to the veto privilege, and the main pillar of the organization, namely the general assembly, is marginalized. in the past several decades, at least one of the permanent members of the security council has always been a party to the disputes. the veto advantage grants impunity to aggression and occupation, how could, therefore, one expect competence while both the judge and the prosecutor are a party to the dispute? had iran enjoyed veto privilege, would the security council and the iaea director general have taken the same position in the nuclear issue? dear friends, the united nations is the key c
